Stories for Fall 09
Beginning on Sept 20th, our children (3yrs to 5th grade) will spend 9 weeks exploring the stories of Abraham. For three weeks we will look at the significance of names and places in Abraham’s story and in ours, then we will spend three weeks looking at the complicated natures of families (both Abraham’s and ours). Finally we will explore the family stories of Abraham, stories from the first chapters of Genesis (Noah, the Tower of Babel, Adam and Eve).
The themes and stories that will be shared in our Beginner class are offered below in hopes that they will provide a framework for family discussions for all of our children.
